Madhav's Blog

The March 2005 issue of JDJ also has an article on Making PDFs Portable. That again was an interesting article. seems like there's an explosion of PdF support in Java lately. The iText, the FoP framework, now this framework called the PDFBox.

As the old saying goes - the more the merrier. :)

Again from the March 2005 publication of JDJ. Interesting read, although the source code was edited drastically.

I couldn't follow some of the sections but I enjoyed reading this article.

BTW, does anyone know if there's a way to get a hold of the source code? Is it 'download'able on the JDJ website somewhere?

I did send a note to the author if that's a possibility or not.......so I will wait.

Now that is an interesting article in JDJ, March 2005 publication. :)

Based on what is presented, Log4J scores huge points compared to JUL. One place I see applications using JUL is if companies do not want third party or open source dependencies added in their products. Trust me there are such products out there. So, don't brush aside JUL.

My two cents.......

Where is Elaine's friend John Paul?
Trinidad & Togoba (something like that).

Why did Elaine's friend John Paul miss the Olympics?
He over-slept. (Did not turn 'ON' the volume knob of his alarm. Why seperate knob, why?)

What's Starbucks symbol known as?
Seiren.

ps: I love their stock more that their coffee.

I have a huge backlog of TODO stuff and so I am slowly catching up on my reading - currently reading JDJ, March 2005 (Vol 10 Issue 3) edition.

Feature Article: Thinking Objects

I just don't get this article. :(
Ok, lawn moving, car purchase, corporate working (amazon.com ?) and conclusion.

The Conclusion reads:

OOP requires a aradigm shift from procedural thinking to inteaction thinking.

Division of labor pattern....:confused: That is subclass'ing right? So what's new ?

Communication medium - Ok thats methods of a class.

Specialists - Yeah, that's the subclassing again.

IMO, what the article conveys is nothing new or drastically different than what has been published in the references that are mentioned in the article. Those conclusions are basically the backbone of OOP, the basics of objects.

So, here's my question to the JDJ editorial board (or fellow readers) Why did you publish this article?

When I read something, I like to learn something new. Sorry but that's just me mumbling my thoughts.......disappointed!

Is SA. Well, till today I did not know who made it to the finals. It was just by chance that I turned on the TV tonight. Well, now that I know who is in the finals, I am rooting for SanAntonio - Spurs. But then Larry Brown is also an excellent coach.
